Instant Ink Comic Book Podcast

Adriano Ariganello, Roberto Viacava

Join artist, Roberto Viacava, and writer, Adriano Ariganello, as we create one page comics - usually with a special guest - on the spot with no prior knowledge before we record. We work through the entire process, from brainstorming off of a random prompt, to laying out the story, inking it and adding the dialogue. At the end of it, we"ll have a new piece of art for the world to see. Interested in being a guest? Book some time with us! Email adriano@pestocomics.com
